Why do we need to evaluate BOTH the sponsorship and the authorship of web pages when we are researching?
Evaluation Process (Write this in your composition book for 9/22.)
1. Identify and record the sponsor of the source and author if applicable. 2. Evaluate the sponsor and author. What makes this source credible? What expertise does this source offer? 3. Is this a primary or a secondary source? Is there bias here that you should consider? 4. Ask yourself, how might this information be useful to me in reaching my research objectives.
